To further expand on Larry's comments, one thing I haven't seen in this
thread is the concept that the 'pressure' shown on the gauge when inflated
on the ground is technically a pressure differential and that the relative
pressure at altitude would change relative to the MSL altitude/pressure

Of course Larry and I are both flying with 5:00x5 aircraft tires, so our
pressures are irrelevant compared to the rest of the KR world. I usually only
air up my tires during the annual inspection when I have the wheel pants off.
I start at 45 PSI. A year later, the tires are usually around 30

Bill's had/has a really dramatic ridge across the top length of the wing
where the tube interfered with the curvature of the wing. He always said
it didn't affect the handling and that may or may not be true, but it
didn't look
I run only Desser retreads, a nice heavy tire, 25 psi range, and
have 1100 "lucky" flat free hours of flying. Maybe it's my soft,
feather like landings. :-)
As always.

Joe Norris of Sonex described the starting procedure he used with his
Sonerai which to the best of my recollection went something like this:

Hi Everyone.
I own a KR2 with a 2.3l water-cooled VW without electric start. I found
that once you have the priming cycle sorted out it really starts easy and
it is not dangerous, no more than any other hand propped engine.
I agree with the rule "NEVER open the throttle more than a crack" for

I've owned 5 non-electric planes that had to be hand propped, including one
that was a 2180 VW. I didn't notice it to be any more or less risky than any
of my others that ranged from an A-65 to an O-290.
Hand propping a plane comes with some risks, but those are easily mitigated by
